Alaska
is America's last great true frontier, an unspoiled
wilderness of glimmering glaciers, abundant forests,
towering mountains, exotic wildlife, and waterfront
communities. Alaska is a destination full of
Native American culture - a step back in time to the
days of gold rush saloons and oil booms. Alaska
simply put, is a once in a lifetime, dream
vacation.
It's All About Eyes
FACT: Eagles Eyesight
All eagles are renowned for their
excellent eyesight, and the bald eagle
is no exception. They have two foveae,
or centers of focus, that allow the
birds to see both forward and to the
side at the same time.
Eagles, like all birds, have color
vision. An eagle's eye is almost as
large as a human's, but its sharpness is
at least four times that of a person
with perfect vision. The eagle can
probably identify a rabbit moving almost
a mile away. That means that an eagle
flying at an altitude of 1000 feet over
open country could spot prey over an
area of almost 3 square miles from a
fixed position
You Won't Believe Your Eyes
Unbelievable Fact:
The blue whale can produce
sounds up to 188 decibels.
This is the loudest sound
produced by a living animal
and has been detected as far
away as 530 miles.
